    HIVE! It is time for a review / comparison video! Something a bit different. Today I am talking about if I can make a budget guitar sound like a guitar worth thousands!

    In this video, I discuss whether I think an Epiphone can match a Gibson. This was a cheap Epiphone Les Paul Custom that I grabbed for $300 NZD and upgrade it with some sweet Seymour Duncan pickups—an SH-4 in the bridge and an SH-2n in the neck, both picked up used for $200 NZD. 💸

    Now, that is an absolute bargain for an Epiphone Les Paul Custom - it was essentially a barn find and needed a lot of TLC!

    The big question: Can this Epiphone give a Gibson a run for its money after the upgrades? 🤘 I’ll walk you through the mods, play some riffs, and share my thoughts on whether this budget setup holds its own against the big G.

    Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you've ever done a similar upgrade!👇
